002-26.2 Training Miami 2010: Today’s activity was a 5 mile easy run. I also got the first goody bag with gear delivered. Shoes...

Today's run was pretty uneventful. Stats are provided just below. But what got me excited more than the run, was the package our friendly UPS delivery person left this morning. In it, a brand new pair of running sneakers. My old once were pretty worn and it was time to purchase a new pair. But first things first:

Stats For 09'23'09

• 5 miles, Easy run

Gear Check

Tip: Try to keep track of how much mileage you put on your shoes. Especially if you qualify to run in the clydesdale category, such as myself. Even if the shoes don't look worn, after about 300-350 miles the material that is supposed to support your feet and allow for perfect strides will start to fall apart.

I have found my running sneakers by trial and error, and have now been running on the New Balance brand for quite some time now. This will be my ninth pair of New Balance sneakers. Out of all the different running shoes I tried over the years, the model I am using now works best for me. Another reason why I like this brand is that New Balance tries to provide manufacturing jobs right here in the US, putting Americans to work whenever possible. 

That is it for today.

Beste Gesundheit and Happy Trails...
